This show rocks the longer you watch it. Henneko has a lot of nice messed up logic twists. The repercussions of wishing become more wild and zany as the show progresses. I can't believe how Moe this show is, yet I can't look away. The artwork is fairly well done, with some very unique images. The music is fair and sound spot on. The characters are lovable, with the Pervert playing the central ...

This show rocks the longer you watch it. Henneko has a lot of nice messed up logic twists. The repercussions of wishing become more wild and zany as the show progresses. I can't believe how Moe this show is, yet I can't look away. The artwork is fairly well done, with some very unique images. The music is fair and sound spot on. The characters are lovable, with the Pervert playing the central role as a semi straight man. Tsukiko is cute as a bugs ear, and has this quiet, biting speech that is funny and entertaining for its content. Azusa is likeable, because she is the good friend of the cast. It's a good show to watch, I really enjoyed it

One could easily see this a as a perverted anime just based on the title, but you quickly see that it has a more meaningful story.

One could easily see this a as a perverted anime just based on the title, but you quickly see that it has a more meaningful story. It starts off with a simple goal from the events of the first episode, but as that gets resolved you see that the story is much more complex. As characters get introduced you learn about the problems they face with each of them having their own set of conflicts. There is an ongoing mystery that isn't resolved until the final episode and I think ends well. Overall I was really satisfied by this anime it has a great mix of "pervy" humor, but still keeping an interesting story that will make you want to keep watching.

This was a great series. I haven't watched anything that has made me cry in so long. Shows like these make me appreciate anime more more. I really hope that there is a 2nd season, and by how it was set up, it will most likely have one. My only problem is that the translation might be it little off, but that be me not understanding somethings. Anyways on my overall score 5 stars. I'm such a huge ...

After watching the very formulaic first episode, I decided to trudge on and continue watching this anime and I'm glad I did. Outside of the Super Loli Land characters this turned out to be much much more entertaining than I initially thought it would be.

After watching the very formulaic first episode, I decided to trudge on and continue watching this anime and I'm glad I did. Outside of the Super Loli Land characters this turned out to be much much more entertaining than I initially thought it would be. The story stays interesting with barely any slow spots and the characters have some actual personality to them and are very likeable in various aspects.

I thought Attack on Titan was my only surprise hit of the year but I'm glad I'm wrong and so is this now.

This show is perfect in every way. It's funny, but serious when it needs to be, and there is never a boring point in the series. I would wish for a second season, but the ending to the first season was so perfect, that I don't know if I would want it to continue. Definitely worth watching.

You know one of those days when you're feeling down and is hunting for something, anything to calm your moody day? Well, that hunt might not be easy but if Henneko is something on your hit list, then you might of hit a bulls-eye. That's because this is an anime that will brighten the mood of your moody day. In more ways than one, Henneko caters to the fantasies of a young teenager. It focuses more on Youto Yokodera, a young boy who is going through the journey of adolescence. What he seems to be more interested than sports or academics though is of the opposite sex. Thus begin the story, a tale of The "Hentai" Prince and the Stony Cat.

Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko. (also known as The "Hentai" Prince and the Stony Cat) is an anime series based off the light novel and manga of the same name. No contrary to its title, this is NOT a hentai. Rather, it's about a young boy named Youto Yokodera who got nicknamed with the infamous title of the “Hentai Prince” after making a certain wish onto a particuarly gifted Stony Cat. Sounds strange right? Well, that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Coming into this series, I already knew what may be expected. It doesn't take long for any viewer to realize this is a typical romantic comedy. The twist here is that it involves some magic at works in the form of the Stony Cat. So begins this strange tale, the story of the Hentai Prince. Note that not everything starts out like this though. In fact, while it's obvious that Youto is seen a pervert to viewers, the series doesn't directly depict these traits until after he makes his wish to the Stony Cat. It's the result of a wish he made and there's a saying that always stays true: be careful what you wish for.

Unfortunately for Youto , he isn't very careful and now has to deal with the consequences.

For Youto, the boy is naturally a pervert. He likes to read 'ecchi' magazines of perverted nature. He joined the track team so that he can actually see the girls in their swimsuits (the pool is close to the tracks). And of course, he often references to shows that he watches to heighten his interests. Despite his faults though,Youto at the same time is also shown to be a kind boy who often comes to the aid of others especially his female friends. He also seems to be somewhat clever with a crafty mind as he is able to manipulate a certain track leader into believing some obvious false ideas. Needless to say, Youto is the type of boy that's hard to be friends with unless you know his true visage.

Among the people Youto meets in the series includes the adorable Tsukiko Tsutsukakushi. Being presented as both the mascot as well as the main female character, she is the younger sister of the Steel King and someone that accidentally also falls in the case of 'be careful what you wish for' category. Unlike Yuto, the wish she called for made her emotionless. Now, she is like a cat but without the excitement. At the same time, it seems that she and Youto has a sort of deal to get back what they've lost. It's a relationship of awkwardness and benefits all the same time.

Throughout the series, Youto also establishes connections with other characters in particular with a school beauty named Azusa. As an animal lover, she is admired as a school idol, a wealthy lady, and someone who is to be respected by everyone. Despite her outer self, Azusa seems to be quite insecure with herself and often mistrusts people because of her past. Her first encounter with Youto seems to be some sort of fate because for the first time, we see her insecurities manifest thanks to Youto and his new personality granted by the Stony Cat. So much for being a goddess...

The series follows more of a story arc telling format rather than a straight out story. However, the most common features of each episode involves Youto and what he does with his new situation. Of the many new changes in his life, one is his more closeness to three of the main female characters in the series. Youto gets closer with Azusa, Tsukushi (the “Steel King”), and Tsukiko as each episode progresses. Despite being labeled as the 'hentai prince', Youto is also surprisingly reliable at key situations. His reliability as well as ability to help others earns him more affections from the girls. As a matter fact, they seems to see the better side of him and even goes to lengths to return the favor at various points.

There is also a whole cluster of moments and gags that calls out 'cute' throughout every episode. The opening song itself is one with the expressions of our main characters. Its animal-like gestures, high pitched vocals, and moe artwork paints this series as a headline for cuteness. It doesn't stop there either with the cutey artwork. There's the way that Tsukiko moves and way she eats that are formulated from the extra gags. Among other moments, there's the tsundere-like behavior of Azusa where she flatly denies what's really on her mind. Speaking of which, Azusa herself also shows her love of animals. Whether you're an animal lover or not, the show goes to portray many analogies. A clear example is Tsukiko likeness of a cat while Azusa seems to be fond of dogs. Naturally, the two sides don't get along just like the two girls. And naturally, Youto is the center of the drama when it comes to the duo.

Despite the series having many comedy moments, there is also some serious times when we see that characters are more troubled than what they seem to be. Azusa is one of those characters especially with her past and Youto does his best to help her out. Then, there's also the tensions between the two sisters that balances between silliness and moody at various circumstances. It's hard to take them serious but at the same time, it's clear that there's something deeper going on between them.

Even though the series is cute, there's many overused themes of a typical romantic comedy in Henneko that might turn some viewers off. There's plenty of fan service like the traditional beach episode. In fact, because the school has a pool, it's natural that the girls will be in their swimsuits. Therefore, expect some of those gratuitous outfits to hit the screen some time here and there. Among other little gags in the series are the various misunderstandings. In one fact, among one of these misunderstandings turns into more of a serious admiration for the Steel King. Furthermore, the Steel King is portrayed as the sex symbol of the show with her well developed body (thanks to her status as president of the track team) and sexy moans during exercises. It turns the physical education class into a theme of fan service and one that is presented clearly with both the vocals and visuals. It doesn't stop there either as we also have the master/servant like relationship, the repetitive tsundere-like behavior of Azusa, and later on seemingly a harem being under construction by our hentai prince.

For J.C. Staff production, this series makes usage of its more colorful atmosphere. The way artwork is enforced throughout the series brings out the fairy tale-like cuteness of most of the characters. It is not realistic but rather overly flows with cuteness and moe. Given the setting of the romantic comedy genre, it does fit the overall idea. I'm not sure what the objective it's trying to achieve but if cuteness was one of them, it nailed it on the spot. At other times though, it tries way too hard and the characters' designs are generic. The petite figure, the flat chest, and the well developed bodies for our three main female characters shapes the different sides of this anime. There's nothing unique to see here but it's kawaii.

The soundtrack of the series clearly is lighthearted. It also seems that a lot of times, it puts more effort into each and every single tiny moment to bring out the cute factors. These can also turn into more lewd moments such as our Steel King and her erotic moans. It does match though with our small cast of main characters and the way they portray is also expressed in their voice actors/actresses. The softness of Tsukiko's voice is a more prominent example as we can clearly see that she lost most of her emotions. Finally, both the OP and ED songs of this series brings out cuteness and moe at its best. The way the OP song is overflowed with adorable moments and gif worthy material. The ED song fits with the same flow with the dancing moments of Tsukiko and her adorable outfits. It's needless to say that in terms of audio features, Henneko brings out 'cuteness' at its best.

Ultimately, the end game of this series is how you might decide to watch Henneko. If cuteness is something you're looking for to brighten up that moody day you just had, then this series is definitely something to hit the play button on. Otherwise, enjoyment can come in different shapes and sizes. For one thing though, the series itself is hard to take serious even with its more moody moments. The fan service and little fun gags can give different results depending on how you view them. Otherwise, Henneko is a series that is probably not a masterpiece for me. I might forget it in the future. However, those cuteness and adorable moments are hard to take my eyes off of.

I was a bit worried before watching Henneko. I had a feeling that my drive in anime shows was lost having seen GJ Club, and my paranoia heightened, thinking that I was simply losing my motivation. GJ Club failed to grasp my full attention even though the screen of my computer was staring me dead in the face with the show playing right in front of me and my eyes locked on.

I was a bit worried before watching Henneko. I had a feeling that my drive in anime shows was lost having seen GJ Club, and my paranoia heightened, thinking that I was simply losing my motivation. GJ Club failed to grasp my full attention even though the screen of my computer was staring me dead in the face with the show playing right in front of me and my eyes locked on. I needed something new.

Watching Henneko wasn't a chore. It surprised me just how good this show was, but even Henneko doesn't go without its vices.

Plot: Yokodera Youto is a perverted high school student. He spends his days in track watching the girls swim after school, but nobody truly acknowledges him as a pervert. One night, he travels to the mountain where the stony cat resides, a statue rumored to grant a wish at the expense of something that the individual owns. There, he accidentally runs into Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, a shy girl of his same age, who also visited the stony cat in order to have a wish granted. They grant a wish; Youto who wishes to be more open about his thoughts and Tsukiko who wishes to be more reserved about her feelings. This sparks a peculiar turn of events that brings Youto and Tsukiko closer as they spend more time together.

Okay, so there's your basic idea. For some reason, it reminds me a bit of Bakemonogatari, which has the same premise: for each girl, there's an arc, and each arc focuses on identifying and solving that girl's problems. While it worked there, it lacked proper execution here in Henneko. The reason being is the fact that these problems continue to appear just as quickly as they are solved, and it further delays Tsukiko's problems from being solved up until the end, effectively creating a rapid finish.

However, disregard all of that and it brings you to a major strength: the stony cat's relation with the story. Let it be known that everything the stony cat does steer the show in the direction of a supernatural show. Thanks to this, there is a good number of things that can be achieved, which will be explained later on.

Characters: And begin by praising that supernatural element now. While I wouldn't mind if Tsukiko was her normal self throughout the series, she lacks emotion from the very beginning, which left the moment she prayed to the stony cat. The show would be a lot less interesting if Tsukiko was able to express her emotion, in my opinion, and situations such as this effectively pave the way for interesting characters to pick up the slack that the weak storyline execution could not achieve.

But while we're on the subject of characters, one thing I disliked is the fact that the supporting characters seem to be generic. A certain group can be classified as such due to the fact that their basic concepts are always recurring in other series; Youto can be compared to Highschool DxD's Hyodo Issei, and Azuki Azusa translates to just about every female misfit in anime.

Content: This sort of spiritual, supernatural content allows Henneko to get away with the life lessons and teachings that are integrated into the show. It's the nature of the show that allows it to do so, and the fact that these ideals don't seem "forced" onto the characters allows it to flow more naturally, unlike other shows I've seen that simply try to wrap up everything in a bow at the very end.

Romantic comedy is the genre that this anime is most closely associated with. Count on the romance aspect to be there, but here's where I give Tsukiko her own spotlight. She's blunt and lacking in emotion, and that sort of deadpan humor is present everywhere throughout the show. I happened to find this charming, but for those who cannot come to terms with it and expect to laugh a bit more than that, I can't guarantee that it will grow on you anytime soon. There are other great moments of comedy in this series that do not come from Tsukiko, but I can argue that Tsukiko makes up a good majority of it, which may pose an issue for some of the viewers.

Miscellaneous: Recognizing that you're a cute, moe-type anime show requires cute, moe-type music and animation. This will most likely appeal to fans of K-On! and Lucky Star, which make it seem like moe is an abundant resource without exploiting it.

That's it, I guess. I think I should really write this section out next time I do a review.

Overall: The characters are generic and the story leaves a lot to be desired. Despite that, Henneko is easily likable, and it's surprisingly good. It's not a well-known anime, and it does not receive as much recognition as a show like Attack on Titan which was released in the same season of Summer 2013, but I can argue that it simply doesn't receive the recognition it deserves.

Unlike shows I've rated 3 stars which I often exercise as shows meant mostly to kill time during a break or just as something you'd watch because you wanted to see something new, Henneko isn't one of those shows. It's worth the watch, and it's an easy show to enjoy, so long as you aren't nitpicking away at every little detail.

The plot can run a little thin at times but this is definitely worth a watch. The ending is great and the concept refreshing. The beginning is a little rushed but i find that as the series goes on it develops in some interesting ways. Beware though theirs some lack of side character development and near the middle of the season it gets a little dry. But if you plug away it is definitely worth it ...

The beginning is a little rushed but i find that as the series goes on it develops in some interesting ways. Beware though theirs some lack of side character development and near the middle of the season it gets a little dry. But if you plug away it is definitely worth it to see the last 3 or 4 episodes.

I personally loved this Anime! I am, however, a fan of harems. It isn't a massive harem, but it is a harem. That aside it was HILARIOUS, and had an incredible plot! I definitely enjoyed this anime, and recommend it!
